Weigh in on Mega Millions

The Mega Millions jackpot is over $500 million. Is it a ticket to a dream, or a bad bet?

On Tuesday, residents of New York and 44 other states will line up for a chance at more than half a billion dollars.

As of Monday, the Mega Millions jackpot was at $586 million, the second largest jackpot in history.

It's a prize that is certainly life changing, but at odds of 1 chance in 259 million, is it really an unrealistic dream?

We want to know what you think. Is it worth buying a ticket for the small chance to become rich?  Do you feel lotteries are worthwhile?  

Are you going to buy a ticket and if so, what would you do with the winnings?
